Joan Winters (December 8, 1909 – October 1933) was a Broadway dancer who was murdered in the Garden of Gethsemane, outside Jerusalem, in 1933. Although her birth name was Carol Vesta von Niedergesaess, her father changed the family surname to Godfrey during World War I, so for most of her life she was known as Carol Godfrey. She was born in Seattle, Washington, where she lived with her family until 1928.
